Exploring the best beaches in Northern Mallorca with Balearic Villas

Whether you are looking for a quiet cove to unwind or a lively beach with plenty to do, the north coast of Mallorca has something for everyone. This guide takes a closer look at some of the best beaches in the region: Puerto Pollensa, Cala San Vicente, Puerto Alcudia, Bon Aire and Mal Pas and Playa de Muro. Each one has its own character, and all of them are easy to combine from a villa base in the north of the island.

Puerto Pollensa

Nestled between the Tramuntana Mountains and the sea, Puerto Pollensa has a long sandy beach with calm, shallow waters that are perfect for families. The scenic Pine Walk promenade is lined with cafés and shops, making it a lovely place to stroll and enjoy the views of the bay. Evenings by the marina are especially pleasant, with restaurants and bars along the waterfront.

Cala San Vicente

Cala San Vicente is a picturesque village with four small coves surrounded by dramatic cliffs. The clear turquoise waters are ideal for snorkelling and swimming, and the setting offers a peaceful retreat from the busier tourist spots.

Puerto Alcudia

Puerto Alcudia has one of the longest beaches in Mallorca, with over 7 kilometres of fine white sand. The shallow waters are ideal for families with young children. The busy port area offers a variety of water sports and excursions, which makes it a lively holiday destination.

Bon Aire and Mal Pas

Bon Aire and Mal Pas are peaceful residential areas known for their secluded beaches and relaxed atmosphere. The beaches here are smaller and less crowded, offering a more intimate and tranquil setting.

Playa de Muro

Playa de Muro is a beautiful beach with over 5 kilometres of fine white sand and crystal-clear waters. It is ideal for families and offers sun loungers, water sports and beach bars. Its natural beauty and relaxed atmosphere make it one of the most popular beaches in Mallorca.
